I have a lot of Kraft cardstock but rarely use it for some reason so I’ve used some of it for this card!

As the Smirk for Her paper is a bit doodly/rustic looking, I chose to use some raffia (from Papermania) to add to the rustic look. I also die cut some circles and used my pokey tool to turn them into buttons – mainly because I don’t have any coordinating buttons! I went around the edge of the “buttons” with some cocoa Memento ink and a Sakura Gelly roll pen. I threaded some of the raffia through the centre button and tied a bow. All of the buttons are mounted on foam pads for a bit of dimension.

I cut the larger of the 3 trees from the top half of the Smirk for her paper.

Woke up to a nice surprise this morning as we were not expecting to get any snow in Leicestershire until next week.

Needless to say, Meadow LOVES it! She was out in the garden for a good hour trying to catch the snow flakes and making little truffle pig noises as she searched for the grass and her neglected garden toys under the snow.

Just a tip for all of you dog owners out there. Put a glob of vaseline/petroleum jelly on their pads before you go out for a walk to stop little clumps of ice forming between their pads. Makes the walk more enjoyable for your dog

A good few weeks ago on one of the 50% one hour madness sales on MyGrafico.com I purchased the digi paper pack by Dotted Daisy Designs called Floral Fantasy. It’s a cute and very girly pack and when I saw the challenge for Just Magnolia, I knew it would be a perfect opportunity to use it.
